IMPROVEMENT IN WINDOW-BRACKET HOOKS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 160,710, dated March 9,1875; application filed January 7, 1875.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATEANIEL PLYMP- TON, of Boston, in the county ofSuffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new Window-Bracket;and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to bea full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which saiddrawings constitute part of this specification, and representperspective View.

This invention relates to an improvement in brackets de igned forsuspending baskets, vases, &c., andfor like purposes, the object beingto construct a bracket so as to be easily attached to the window-sash,or removed therefrom; and it consists in a bracket with a bifurcatedbase, combined with a thumb-screwin one division to clamp the part ofthe sash (or whatever it may be) between the end of the screw and theother division of the base, as more fully hereinafter described.

A is the one part, B the other part, of the divided base. In one part,A, is a thumbscrew, C, working toward and from the other part B. Fromthe base an arm or brace, D, as the case may be, extends, terminatingin, or provided with, a hook, E.

The bracket is attached by setting the two ends A B one above and theother below the part of the sash to which it is to be attached, and thescrew turned upon the sash to clamp the bracket in that position,holding it irmly there, and thus affording a neat and tasteful devicefor the support of vases and similar Window ornaments.

For the purpose of insuring a perpendicular position of the bracket thedivision opposite the screw is divided and spread, as seen in thedrawing.

I claim- The herein-described bracket, consisting of a supporting-arm,D, the bifurcated base B, and the clamping-screw C, substantially asdescribed.
